Dear Isabel & Ruth,
Attached are photos of the minor Marr clan, with me, Jennifer as master mum (daughter of Cathy, granddaughter of David Gibb). Father to this brood is Cameron (the longest legged one), then Graeme David, age 8 and Evan Cameron and Reid Sidney, age 6.
We are sorry to miss out on the festivities, and know that my mom, Cathy, is pretty sore about the state of her back and how it has grounded her.
If I remember correctly, Ruth, you were expecting Pate when my family was in Palgrave on our cross country trip many years ago. I hear he's quite the athlete and Olympic hopeful. Drop us a line if you are in Vancouver for 2010. We don't have too much in the way of space, but have been known to prepare the odd meal or two :-)
Happy family festing,
Jennifer

The Gibbs of Blackburn Hamlet, a suburb of Ottawa. We are Mary, Ian, Sarah and David. Ian is the son of David Gordon Gibb and Janet Hamilton Gibb, now in Victoria, and the grandson of Robertson and Mary Gibb.
Ian was raised in Town of Mont Royal, Quebec, just a few miles from the Westmount homes of his grandparents. Mary comes from Lindsay, Ontario, a little more than an hour north east of Toronto. They met on Manitoulin Island, where Mary taught high school and Ian worked for the local newspaper. After Manitoulin, they roamed all over Northern Ontario. Their daughter Sarah must have absorbed a lot from her early outdoorsy life: she rarely passes a day without swimming, skiing, running or biking. Perhaps because he was born in nerdy Waterloo, Ontario, David spends more of his time in front of a computer screen or piano. Sarah’s other passions include meeting new people, especially from other cultures. As a child, she agreed to immersions in Spain and Quebec, and interrupted her studies at Queens to spend almost a year in Norway, to which she later returned to live another half dozen years.
During Sarah’s first stay in Norway, Ian was asked to work for a couple of years in Indonesia at “reforming the governance of financial institutions.” He had never used a passport before, but after so many years encouraging Sarah to see the world he could hardly refuse. Mary and David’s reaction on arriving in Jakarta was to ask “what have you done to us?” However, they ended up staying not two years but four. The financial markets must have asked the same question: soon after Ian started work many Indonesian banks failed and the rupiah lost 90 per cent of its value.
Since his return to Canada David has alternated between work and study in France and Canada. Sarah teaches school in Vancouver, Mary teaches English to immigrants and Ian works for an agency that tries to keep financial institutions on the straight and narrow. So far, they’ve ignored him and have stayed solvent.

Greetings from Central British Columbia!
When I first heard about the Gibb family reunion I was delighted to have the opportunity to catch up with all the long-lost cousins. I had planned to fly to Ottawa after family visits in Vancouver and Victoria, spend a few days with brother Ian and his Mary, then drive to the party with them. I'm afraid it was not to be: I'm laid up with a bum back and trying very hard not to feel sorry for myself.
Here a bits and pieces of what's happening in my life.
Family
Jennifer (born 1973) is married and living in North Vancouver. She is teaching at Simon Fraser, working on her master's, and managing family life with 3 small boys, including a set of identical twins..
Mary (born 1976) lives a little closer, in 150 Mile House. She works for a local Aboriginal Band, making hi-tech maps related to land claim issues. She and her husband have have a rodeo star and a fairy princess for children.
I'm sure Dad will have all kinds of stories to tell you from first-hand experience, and from all the research he's done on the family. I visit him and Mom twice a year in Victoria.
Adventure
I've always wanted to see the world, so once I was on my own, I fell into the pattern of joining an adventure tour almost every summer. I've kayaked around coastal islands in BC, hiked up to Macchu Pichu, had a marriage proposal in the Blue Mosque, walked on the Great Wall, marveled at Victoria Falls, snorkeled with the penguins off the Galapagos ...what an exciting world it is, and I'm so lucky to have been able to see so much of it.
I broke my hip while hiking a few years ago (you know how they say to get lots of exercise so you won't get frail, fall and break something?) and had a partial replacement, which doesn't work as well as the original part. No more hiking or cross-country skiing, but I do an exercise class at the pool up the street 3-4 times a week to keep in shape.
Uusually “gardening” and “adventure” don't occur in the same sentence, but it if you could see the before and in-progress (a garden is never finished) pictures of my lot you'd understand why I think of those two words together. The process has given me hours of exercise and fun.
Professional life
I've taught in the classroom from grades 4 to 7, in French immersion and in the regular system in Quebec, Ontario and BC. Currently, I am working half-time as a teacher/librarian in an elementary school, a nice way to wind down a career.
Music
Music is big part of my life, and since moving to Quesnel I've been involved as accompanist for all kinds of church and community choirs, high school musicals, fund-raising concerts and the local music festival. I've participated in quite a few musical theatre productions which are a big thing out here. Have piano will travel.
Community involvement
The move out of Quebec was a long sad and somewhat typical story, (although we were prepared to live in French in a separate Quebec if it came to that), so when we landed in small-town BC, I was at loose ends. It was my dad who kept insisting that I bloom where I was planted...so over the years I've been involved in the Community Arts Council, the United Church, the concert society and Billy Barker Days, (“BC's #1 fun family festival”). In the process I've made new friends, acquired skills (never light a harp concert with all blue or red lights), and learned to love this community. I've been Citizen of the Year, and continue to participate in many activities, mostly through music.
I wish you all a wonderful time together!

Hi Ruth,
Happy Canada Day!! Hope the rain stays away up there– so far, so good
here.
(will do that this week)! Yes, well, that week came & went, didn’t it?!
First of all, I worked for British Airways (in Montreal) & Pan American
(in Toronto) – choosing airlines that travelled the world was a real plus!
I then switched into Corporate Travel Sales & had to master that awful
thing of speaking & presenting to the decision-makers; occasionally,
with the boss looking on – that’s the worst!
Now, after taking a course at Dawson College, I’ve been building a website
& promoting Organic & Fair Trade Cotton Clothing. (you may have noticed,
I’ve been taking advantage of my kins’ addresses through your correspondence
& sending out my newsletter! – hope that’s not jamming the system too much.)
I’m also on the Board of the NDG Senior Citizens’ Council for NDG & Montreal
West - & working on Development – I had no idea how financially strapped
many of these wonderful people were!
Patricia – (53) has been my partner for 10 years – is a Nurse-Manager in Surgery,
at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) & is working at the Royal Victoria
Hospital. She cycles, she golfs, she kayaks, she sings (!) & she loves to boogie!
She also helps to care-take her 88 year old Mother.
Sherrill started a publishing company in the early 80s for childrens’ educational
& self-help books. After many good years & lots of travelling to book fairs &
conferences throughout the US, she sold her business & studied personal
training. She specialises in Senior Exercise & boy! is she good! The Seniors have
benefitted & improved their well-being as a result. (I’m allowed to say that, aren’t I.)
“Sherrill, you can add or delete whatever I’ve said here.”
Andrew – is Sherrill’s eldest son (40) who lives & works in Tampa. My handsome
nephew & Godson did his post-graduate at the Savannah School of Design, in furniture
design. He has a beautiful caring towards his work & is a true artist. He has developed
a reputation for his knowledge of furniture & his great work, which continues to grow
in the Tampa area. Andrew is an eligible bachelor – at the moment!
Jamie – (34 this month), Sherrill’s youngest, has lived & worked in New York City for
about 10 years. Jamie is a funny, low-keyed, laid-back - & sensitive ‘artist’ - who has studied
music in NYC. Jamie plays percussion & has travelled with bands throughout the US – also, took
him over to Spain. (where did all these artists in the family come from)?! Jamie works in
home renovations & is also single.
Carrie – my wonderful Sister, Holly’s, wonderful daughter, is a writer, a musician, a
sound engineer, a documentary film producer – who also sings occasionally in Indie
bands – and is the Mother of beautiful & spunky Alice & Gahan, the wife of wonderful
Dan & has a contagious joie de vivre, like her Mother.
David – is Holly’s handsome son, living in Montreal with his Lady, Sara. David’s been
in Digital Marketing for several years & has landed some impressive accounts – both
here & in Toronto. He’s a pretty good golfer, the Godfather to his nephew, Gahan & has
beautiful manners!
Ruth – all this is quite a mouthful! Do with the info’ as you wish. I tried to download a
picture of Pat – but for some reason,
So looking forward to meeting you & many other dear relatives – what a great idea!
Love,
Cousin Jane

Natalie & Christine in Allen Gardens, Toronto
Natalie & Amelia Earhart in Gatineau
Natalie, Barb, Rob, Christine & Alan chowing down before a mini hike in the Bruce Trail
Rob after a 10Km race in Kingston
Rob, hotdogging it at the Elora GorgeThe Gibb's of Hudson, Qc(Alan & Barbara; Christine, Natalie & Robertson) Barbara hails from Thunder Bay where many happy summer and Christmas memories are made for our three - Christine, Natalie and Robertson. Barb is a dental hygienist and loves gardening, floral arranging, cooking and local theatre. She is recovering from a broken ankle so our usual summer expeditions of hiking and wilderness canoe trips have been put on hold for a while. Over the years we have hosted exchange students from Germany and Thailand. Maybe that is why the girls have the travel bug. Alan works for a small plastics manufacturer located south of Montreal. He is a creative pumpkin carver and enjoys the detective work involved in tracing family histories (there are some colourful and questionable characters in the Gibb family!) . Hiking, canoeing, hockey, running, Canadian and International films and the very occasional game of golf fill in most free hours. After finishing her master's at the University of Guelph, (doing her research in Ghana) Christine moved to downtown Montreal and until recently, worked at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity. It afforded her travel to Switzerland, Germany and Norway. The loves in her life include swing dancing, running (she will compete in the 2009 Boston Marathon) cross country skiing and Frank, her long term beau. She plans to present a paper in Kenya this summer. Christine and Natalie have been involved with pre trip preparation of international development students. Natalie, based in Gatineau, Qc works at a few jobs: Sierra Youth Coalition, Learning for a Sustainable Future and translation work. Last summer she helped start up an organic farm - from the ground up - starting seeds in the greenhouse they built, to raising chickens. She is a global traveler and has studied or done volunteer stints in Germany, Chile and Panama. This fall Natalie will start graduate school in British Columbia. Among Natalie's passions are the environment, languages, running, shinny hockey with her siblings and Amelia Earhart (the cat). Robertson (Rob) is finishing year four of a five year civil engineering/business program at McMaster. He is on the university cross country running and track teams. He has become a proficient playboat kayaker and is a key member of the McMaster white water kayak club. Summer jobs have included kayak instructor and working for engineering firms and the ministry of Transport in Southwestern Ont. He hopes to make it to Montreal to head out with Christine to enjoy Montreal's superb kayaking waves (and his Mom's cooking).

Hi everyone,
After much back and forth with my parents about who was posting what I find myself with the responsibility of introducing myself and my husband Jon. I am Heather Skelton, daughter of Peter and Carol Skelton and granddaughter of Peter and Libby (Gibb). Currently Jon and I call Winnipeg home. Jon is doing his residency in internal medicine with the University of Manitoba and I am working as an Occupational Therapist doing community outreach with infants and preschoolers. Since getting married, Jon has had to learn to love camping and hiking and I have had to learn to love road biking and golf :) We have both recently taken up cross country skiing (a sport well suited to the snowy flat of Manitoba) but can hardly be considered proficient yet! Much of what little spare time Jon has left he spends on the constant quest for the perfect collection of bass guitars and deciding what to put in the music studio he plans to build once we have a house. I fill much of my non-working hours rowing with the Winnipeg Rowing Club and helping run one of the local
guide units. The attached are pictures from a couple of trips
we've taken and from a friend's wedding.

Chase and Patsy Fawsett
We are the Fawsett's of Orlando, Florida.
My mother, Patricia(Patsy) Fawsett is the daughter of Mary Combs (Mary Elinor Gibb
line) and has lived in Florida since she was 5 years old. She is a federal judge here in Florida and has recently "gone senior"
which is a form of retirement and not a form of dementia! She now spends her days walking her favorite child (a 3 yr old yellow labrador), biking, and enjoying the out doors. My mother and step father have been together for over 25 years. They eloped in New Zealand almost 15 years ago without telling the children. Neil Oehlstrom is originally from Chicago Illinois. Before moving to Florida, Neil helped run a ski resort in Colorado. He is now a stock broker for Edward Jones. My sister is currently living in New York City and works for UBS as VP of event planning. She has traveled all over the world for her job and loves it! She has been married to Bernard Reams for 3 years now and they are expecting a baby boy any day now! I am the baby of the family and am finishing my fourth and final year at the University of Florida College of Medicine. I am going into Emergency Medicine and will hopefully be returning to Orlando for residency and rejoining my girlfriend who is done with her training and works in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Here is a recent photo of the Gibb Milko family: Bob Milko, who is a retired ecologist/environmental advisor, now an avid ski mountaineer; Haley, second year McGill student and aspiring human rights lawyer (in the meantime, avid swing dancer, skier and horsewoman) and me, Heather - researcher on international development issues/human rights; in real life a yoga student and also a rider. The photo shows us in our natural habitat - hiking somewhere in the Gatineau Park, near where we live.
Look forward to seeing everyone this summer!
Heather
I am Peter Skelton, husband of Libby Gibb, who died three years ago. We had four children: Peter G., Andrew, Janet and Ian. Peter married Carol McMullen and they have two children: Heather and Craig. Andrew Married Karen Cotton and they have two Daughters: Stephanie and Shawna. Janet lives alone in Toronto. Ian married Iara Lessa.
The attached photo ( birthday 020 ) shows the members of my family ( Heather and Craig are missung, as they were several hundred miles away when the picture was taken ). Back row: l. to r. Iara, Jan, Ian, Peter, Carol. Sitting: Libby, myself, Karen, Andrew. Kneeling: Stephanie, Shawna.
You will be hearing from the others, so I will only add that I now have a very good friend Louise Mitchell. She will be coming with me in August. A picture of us ( IMG 0605 ) is also attached. We are looking forward to seeing everyone there. We thank you for pulling this reunion together.
Fondest regards, Peter

Mention “Gibb Reunion”. Palgrave is an equestrian centre, lots of big competitions held here. Our Reunion coincides with the biggest such meeting of the year! The postal addresses seem confusing – that is the way it is around here, and it works! If you have any difficulty, let us know. Nobody should decide against attending for lack of a place to sleep.
You may have some luck by typing in “www.habbo-headwaters.com” on your computer – these B&Bs all are supposed to be listed there.
The camping area, like everything else hereabouts, is white with snow. Think warm sun, green grass, good times – this coming August!

The rates for these B&Bs are done with slight differences, but the end totals are much alike. All hosts recommend booking as soon as possible, some suggest as early as February. Mention “Gibb Reunion”. Palgrave is an equestrian centre, lots of big competitions held here. Our Reunion coincides with the biggest such meeting of the year! The postal addresses seem confusing – that is the way it is around here, and it works! If you have any difficulty, let us know. Nobody should decide against attending for lack of a place to sleep.
You may have some luck by typing in “www.habbo-headwaters.com” on your computer – these B&Bs all are supposed to be listed there.
The camping area, like everything else hereabouts, is white with snow. Think warm sun, green grass, good times – this coming August!

Neumann Family
We are the Neumann'sI am the one in the centre, Ruth Wheelwright, daughter of John and Isabel (Gibb)Wheelwright.
I am the one sending out all the info on this fab funfest next summer.
The people in the photo are (left to right):
Peter Neumann 47, my handsome husband. Peter works with me in our construction company, Wheelwright Group. When Peter is not working he is skiing. He is a very successful downhill Masters ski racer (he would never write this but it happens to be true).
Beside Peter is Cosi. Cosi is 19 and is in her second year of study at York University in Toronto. She is studying communications. Cosi as well is a downhill ski racer and works part time for Paramount Productions in their promotions department.
Yes, that's me in the centre. I'm 47, I am by far the youngest child of John and Isabel (the Gibb connection) Wheelwright. My brother and sisters are John (54), Martha (51) and Mary (50). I work full time in our construction company Wheelwright Group. I too am a skier, love to hold parties and, oh yes, I would suggest the movie Gost Town for anyone looking for a good rental.
Beside me is Pate. He is 21 and is a full time athelete. Pate is on the National Development Team for Nordic skiing. He lives in Whistler and studies at the University of Athabaska part time. Pate spends his time training, eating and sleeping. Pate also has his own blog pateneumann.blogspot.com.
Last but not least is our youngest son Sam. He is 13, and is in Grade 8. Sam is also a downhill racer and an aspiring drummer.
